Elysia says that the mpressor plug-in is the as-close-as-it-can-get
emulation of its famous creative compressor hardware of the same name. Its
all discrete circuitry and its special character have been translated into
software by the specialists from brainworx. The result is a universal
compressor as well as a dynamics effect machine.

The mpressor is available for Windows and Mac OS X in RTAS, VST and AU
effect plug-in formats (with TDM coming in December).

The plug-in has all the functions of the hardware which can be combined in
many ways: Auto Fast for attack makes life easy even on longer attack
settings. The Anti Log function offers an alternative release curve that
can be engaged for instant pumping effects. In addition to standard ratios,
the mpressor also provides negative values. Combine this with its extremely
fast attack times, and you will be able to create completely new signal
envelopes.

The Gain Reduction Limiter regulates the virtual control voltage and keeps
even the most extreme settings under control . completely independent from
the threshold and ratio settings. The additional filter is a perfect fit
for changing the compressed signal in its sound character. The possibility
to control the mpressor by an external sidechain to get things grooving
makes for further flexibility.


Features:

True Emulation: The compression behavior and the sound character of the
hardware have been recreated in a complex process to match the hardware as
close as possible.

Oversampling: In order to achieve the best results also on lower sample
rates, the mpressor plug-in uses an increased internal resolution in these
cases.

Mousewheel Support: Setting parameters with the mouse can be annoying for
this reason the controllers of the mpressor can be easily moved with the
mouse wheel.

Auto Fast: Originally developed for the alpha compressor, this switchable
semi automation ensures a perfect attack on the basis of the value set by
the user.

Anti Log: This alternative characteristic of the release curve follows an
anti-logarithmic course instead of the linear one and produces a much more
audible result.

Negative Ratios: The characteristic curve bends and goes back down. Heavy
pumping, backward sounds, etc. perfect for very cool compression effects.

Audio Filter: The mpressor plug-in also features another popular function
of the hardware version: the easy yet very flexible Niveau Filter.

External Sidechain: You want to create frequency dependent compression or
have it accented by the groove? The sidechain function makes it all
possible.

Gain Reduction Limiter: This novel limiter is not placed in the audio path
as usually, but restricts the virtual control voltage of the plug-in
instead.
